(American Chronicle)
Interesting viewpoint that is not normally found..
I located Sgt. Williams, and he told me the name of the eatery, that it was an ice cream shop and he had been called a “baby killer” by the owner. Professor Toro´s column was carefully crafted to not disclose the exact nature of the eatery, and my e-mail to the columnist asking for the business´s name was never answered.
So the liberal local press and Chamber of Commerce are circling the wagons to protect the ice cream shop owner mostly from himself, I suspect. The owner needs sensitivity training on how to treat soldiers the same way liberals would have conservatives do when they say something politically incorrect about minorities, gays or militant Muslims.
This guy had a number of blatant errors in his story, and I have been corresponding with him for three days in an attempt to get them corrected. I have no argument about the soldier v. ice cream shoppe part of it; it was the rest of his statements about PG that I have serious issues with (such as “Next time you need a cop, call a librarian” or words to that effect). He is a DEA agent from Pebble Beach, BTW, and was at Toasties Friday (spying on the ice cream shoppe?).
The best fascisteo in town. Yummmm!!!
Lots of free advertising for the ice cream shop.
Let the Chamber know how you feel about what they did reporting this to the media:

This whole story is a lot of right win spin. It did not occur as reported. It seems lots of people on this site like to believe the worse without checking out the facts.
This had nothing to do with refusing or insulting soldiers. This man serves soldiers all the time. I will be glad when we have an administration in this country who might hold the news media to reporting news not rumour or speculation or….smear campaigns like is running here.

?? Ahh, so you want the government to censor the news. Freedom of speech is a right to be valued. Some like to get news from NPR and Air America, some like Drudge and Sean Hannity. The government should stay out.
Dam Straight Admin!!!
How Boring – go live in Russia or Iraq sounds like those countries would be right up your alley from the sounds of things. I am proud to live in the USA where we have freedom of speech and I do not take it for granted at anytime.
Boy, you folks are just ready to sound off.
I think what How was saying was that you should be held accountable for whether you are printing “news” or slander. This is all about Freedom of Speech. You are trying to hang the owner of a small business in PG for what is reputed to have been said. You quote one line out of a news article and stand up on your bullypulpnews.
Please, give peace a chance…
Don’t know why that columnist and the Moe man wanted to protect that pig?
We don’t need your sort (Ozuna) in our town.
NO ICE CREAM NAZIS IN PG, THIS NOT NYC PEOPLE.
